Hi Steve
Just to let you know there is also "other viable group" who also takes
satellites seriously enough to provided numerous web sites full of help.
There is more than 50 AMSATS worldwide. Here is some of them.
As you notice some AMSAT-NA field coordinator don't event pay any respect to
them. Be careful in your choices some of them are better than other only just
from the point of HAM SPIRITS and the international respect. Just to let you
know i am a FORMER AMSAT coordinator. feel free to ask me why? You probably
start to understand.

P.S. Narrowmind only conducts to world-wide disaster or into politics... I
don't know what should happen to make some understand a bit of common sense? A
failed war could be? (In the sense of war of opinions!)
If someone wants to live under a rock cut off from the rest of the world he
just have do it fully not partially :).
If you want to have a real impact in a realistic near future satellite project
check this link and click on the satellite bottom antenna tip. It is what i
called the REAL building blocks of a VIABLE AMSAT'S. Here is the link.
